Rolling Stones blend 1966 legacy with AI deepfake video for new album

The Rolling Stones have released a groundbreaking music video for the forthcoming single “In The Stars,” using artificial‑intelligence deep‑fake technology to digitally rejuvenate Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood to their 1960s selves. Directed by François Rousselet and produced by Deep Voodoo, the clip places the AI‑rendered band in a psychedelic “60s‑style” party and previews the new album Foreign Tongues, slated for release on 10 July under Polydor/Universal.

The release comes as the band’s storied past is revisited: a recent feature detailed the 1966 creation of “Paint It Black,” describing how bassist Bill Wyman’s improvised organ riff and a Middle‑Eastern‑inspired rhythm saved the track from being scrapped, ultimately delivering one of the Stones’ most iconic songs. Together, these pieces illustrate the group’s long‑standing willingness to experiment—first with sitar‑tinged psychedelia, now with AI‑driven visual storytelling—while linking the new material to the legacy of their classic era.
